Unix Archiving survey
Darren Locke | 30 Apr 2009 | 1 comment

As a quick introduction, I am a product manager within the Symantec Information Management Group - specifically responsible for the File System Archiving component of Enterprise Vault.

We are always looking for input from our customers as to what they would like to see us developing next. One area that we've talked about internally for a while is that of Unix Archiving. By Unix Archiving I mean archiving content out of the Unix platform rather than an archiving application running on Unix. We would like to know whether you have demand for such an applicaton and if you do, what are the key features you would be looking for. If you are operating a unix environment, but not necessarily requiring Unix Archiving today, we would still like to hear from you to obtain environmental information.

To help us gather this information, we are conducting a short survey which should take 15-20 minutes to complete. If you do have an interest in this topic, we would very...

How proactive should we be about issues?
EV Director | 20 Apr 2009 | 4 comments

Hi,

As you know to communicate with our customers we have many ways,  Forums, tech notes, tech alerts.

Currently we will create product tech alerts for serious issues ie data loss, security or data integrity issues.

But what if an issue comes to light after release that's 'pretty bad' but does not fix the above criteria  It's something some customers will come across and they won't 'love us' for it, but currently apart from a tech note (which may only be discovered by the customer after the issue has occurred), what should we do?

So I guess I'm asking what would you want, more emails from Symantec about issues?  if so, how many emails is too many?  Once a week too many, once a month, a newsletter?   If we did more emails, would you honestly read them.  Perhaps there is nothing we can do, nothing apart from us trying to avoid such issues in the first place?

Would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Why Archiving and Backup Make Sense
Steve C Blair | 08 Apr 2009 | 1 comment
Over the past 10 years, a now accepted technology called “Archiving” or “Active Archiving” has come into play in almost all IT groups operations. When we look back over the past 15-20 years of IT history, we traditionally spent our time as SysAdmin’s doing weekly backups, nightly incremental backups, and quarterly/yearly save sets. The backups we took, provided we had time in our diary for all the other demands in our day, were periodically checked to make sure we could read them, and left alone. Then came a visit from a Legal firm, Government regulator, or HR staffer “We need information contained in files and emails” for John Doe, please restore the backups and give us access to search them. This was typically met with a real groan, sigh, and you knew when this happened that you were going to be sitting with tape catalogues, restoring files, running scripts on the directories/folders/files/emails restored, hoping to give whatever...

An Open Letter to EMC EmailXtender Customers from Symantec Enterprise Vault
EV Guys | 02 Apr 2009 | 3 comments

Open Letter to EMC EmailXtender Customers

Today, EMC announced SourceOne, another replacement for its email archiving product EmailXtender – the third in five years. It is version 1.0 of a brand new product offering limited interoperability with existing EmailXtender archives and Documentum. We believe EMC customers deserve better, which is why Symantec is offering EMC EmailXtender customers a way to quickly and easily migrate to the world’s #1 email archiving product, Enterprise Vault.

Migrating to Enterprise Vault offers the following advantages that EMC has yet to deliver:

•    Integrated SharePoint Archiving to reduce storage and E-Discovery costs.
•    Integrated File Archiving to shrink backups, reduce storage and enable rapid e-discovery.
•    Proven E-Discovery tools to meet longstanding legal requirements and compliance regulations.

Why wait for EMC to deliver...

Enterprise Vault V8 SP1 is now available
Glenn Martin | 01 Apr 2009 | 4 comments

We are pleased to announce that yesterday we shipped Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP1 and it is now available for download via the FileConnect portal. This is a departure from how we have previously made service pack releases available and has been done partly to provide you with a single place where you can download your software and partly for logistical reasons since we now ship the release as an ISO file which is about 1.4GB and is more easily managed using the FileConnect portal. If you do have trouble accessing the portal then you should in the first instance contact our Customer Care who will be able to assist you.

 

For more information about how to use Fileconnect, please read the following technote.
